Well, if you use gettext as a PHP extension, mo files are loaded in
memory when apache starts. There's no extra hit on the file system then.
Even if its pretty fast, you still have the overhead of calling a function
to translate the string, which could be avoided because translated strings
are not supposed to be changed on a request basis.
